    about the size of a small US cent maybe just ever so slightly bigger.

    Probably a 1/12 ecu then. But it's not a Royal issue, probably from one of the provinces or a Bishopric. Not sure if I have the books here with me to identify it. But with those fleur de lis it almost has to be French.

    Not Knowledge, just time and books. I think Spain was my 3rd choice after Italy and France, I missed the note about Spain in the OP.
